MainStreet is a planned FiveM business script for server-owned and player-owned shops, operations, management, and economy participation. It is designed to stack with MoneyTrail's audited payments and ClosingTable's ownership records, so city life runs on one connected economy. It is in development and not yet purchasable.
The problem it exists to solve
Most FiveM business scripts sell a menu: a shop that vends items and a boss chair that pays wages out of thin air. The parts that make owning a business a game — revenue that has to come from actual customers, payroll that has to come from actual revenue, books someone could audit — don't exist, so 'business owner' means standing behind a counter watching a menu other people use.
Why we're building it
Businesses are where a server's everyday economy either becomes real or gets faked. A bar that mints its own income is a money printer with mood lighting; a bar whose revenue reconciles against actual sales is a reason for the whole city to show up on a Friday. We're building the second one, on the same ledger discipline as MoneyTrail, because the interesting part of ownership is the operating, not the owning.
What it's designed to do
- Designed so a business runs on records: sales, payroll, ownership — books that reconcile instead of a balance that drifts.
- Designed so revenue comes from customers and payroll comes from revenue, keeping player businesses inside the economy instead of quietly printing into it.
- Designed for operating, not just owning — hiring, pricing, stock, the happy-hour night that makes a venue a destination.
- Designed to stack with the rest of the pillar: money moves through MoneyTrail, and buying or selling the business itself is a ClosingTable deal.
What we have not proven
How to judge any product in this category — ours included
- Ask where wages come from. If payroll is minted rather than paid out of revenue, the business script is an inflation faucet wearing a storefront (see /guides/stress-test-fivem-economy-scripts).
- Ask whether the books reconcile — can an owner, or an admin, total the sales and match the balance? If not, disputes about missing money are unanswerable.
- Ask whether purchases and payouts validate server-side; a business till is a client-reachable money endpoint (see /guides/fivem-server-security-net-events).
- Our July 2026 survey collected no business-management prices — no reference price exists in our data for this category, so vet the seller, not the sticker (see /guides/how-to-vet-fivem-script-sellers).
Frequently asked
Can I buy MainStreet today?
No. It is a preview of a product in development, with no release date, no measured performance figures, and no purchase path.
What's wrong with wage-from-nothing business scripts?
They inflate. Every payday that isn't funded by a sale is new money entering the economy, and a city full of businesses like that debases every price on the server. A business system is an economy product first and a shop menu second.
Does MainStreet replace job scripts?
It isn't designed to. Jobs (ShiftWorks, in our stack) cover structured work; MainStreet is designed for ownership and operations — the venue, the crew, the books. They're adjacent, and the exact boundary is one of the things being settled in development.
